64 Nice Response

However, before Li Shun could step forward, Luo Cheng stopped him.

“So Sr. Li and Aunt Li are here! No matter what, you’re still guests! I’ll treat you to two bowls of noodles today. As for the rest, there’s no need to say anything.”

When Sr. Li and Aunt Li heard Luo Cheng’s words, their hearts sank.

“We really have no choice! You don’t know, but your eldest brother and second brother disappeared yesterday! We don’t have any money left at home. Your father and I can’t even eat now! You can’t abandon us!” Aunt Li recalled what happened yesterday, and her eyes turned red as she said pitifully.

“Since the house was robbed, this matter naturally has to be handed over to the authorities to investigate! If you didn’t report it, on account of our past relationship, I can help you report it! As for the two of you not being able to eat, I think you should send someone to find your sons, Li Qiang and Li Wei! After all, they haven’t left your family yet,” Luo Cheng said alooflu.

“If you find your sons, I’m willing to help you bring your two unfilial sons back on account of our past relationship!”

As soon as he said this, Sr. Li and Aunt Li’s expressions changed completely.

“There’s no need for that!” Aunt Li said.

On the other side, Li Xiaoran had just lit the fire. When she heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately understood and walked over.

“Grandpa, Grandma, it’s rare for you two to come here. Why don’t you try the noodles I made today? You’re not in good health, so you can’t starve! As for Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle, don’t worry! My husband is very compa.s.sionate. He will definitely help you find Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle and bring them back to support you in your old age! Don’t worry, the two of you have raised so many children. Even without my parents, there will be sons who will be filial to you!”

With that, Li Xiaoran summoned her parents again.

“Dad, Mom, hurry up and boil the bone soup. Give Grandpa and Grandma a bowl to try later. Even if Grandpa and Grandma used to give us black paste every day that was difficult to swallow, they still raised us. They cut ties with us over a tiger bone, but we still have to be grateful! Therefore, it’s only right to serve them a bowl of noodles and bone soup! There’s a saying that goes, we have to learn to repay evil with kindness!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was expressionless, but he couldn’t help but feel amused.

Sure enough, Li Xiaoran and him had a tacit understanding.

He had only started it, but Li Xiaoran understood and followed up with her response, making the old couple speechless.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu also understood now, so they nodded and quickly did as Li Xiaoran said.

Soon, the bone soup arrived, as did the sliced noodles.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran could be said to have done her part. She scooped a large spoonful of minced meat and put it in.

Then, she and Luo Cheng brought the two bowls of sliced noodles to Sr. Li and Aunt Li.

“Grandpa, Grandma, look, your granddaughter, who was kicked out to be a subst.i.tute, is quite good to you two! I’ve cooked a big bowl of this minced meat knife noodles,” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

Aunt Li and Sr. Li looked at the bowl of noodles in front of them. There was indeed a lot.

This big spoonful of minced meat was real meat!

The old couple looked at each other, then picked up their chopsticks and ate first.

They were indeed hungry now, so no matter what, they had to fill their stomachs first!

Just like that, Sr. Li and Aunt Li sat down at the table and started eating the noodles.

At this moment, Li Shun called his daughter and Luo Cheng over. He looked at the two elders who were eating noodles and lowered his voice. “Daughter, son-in-law! Can we really find them?”

Luo Cheng laughed.

“Father-in-law, don’t worry. Those two will definitely come back obediently before noon today!”

Li Shun was puzzled when he heard this.

Why did he find his son-in-law’s words a little strange?

Come back on their own? Would that happen?

“Father, don’t worry about it. You and Mother should do what you have to do later. Don’t worry about anything here! As for Grandpa and Grandma, Luo Cheng and I are here!” Li Xiaoran instructed.

After saying that, Li Xiaoran was still a little worried. She turned around and called her sister, Li Xiaoqing, over.

“Xiao Qing, keep an eye on Father and Mother. Don’t let them get involved in this matter! Don’t come over either. Your brother-in-law and I can settle it!”

Li Xiaoqing nodded and agreed. “Sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep an eye on Father and Mother. I won’t let them mess around and ruin your arrangements!”

Li Xiaoran gave her sister an affirmative look and then looked at Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng smiled and nodded at Li Xiaoran. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu said, “We’ve interfered with our daughter and son-in-law’s arrangements!”

Li Xiaoqing said, “Mom, Dad, you finally understand! You’re really insensitive!”

Even if there was a lot of noodles in a bowl, they would eventually finish it.

When the old couple had their fill and were about to talk about what happened before, Li Xiaoran spoke first.

“Grandpa, Grandma, aren’t my noodles very tasty?! I’m not bragging! Grandpa, Grandma, you have of so many granddaughters and grandsons, but me and Xiao Qing, your two granddaughters, are the only ones who benefited you two! After all, one of us was married out in exchange for Grandpa’s tiger bone, and the other became a dowry to help Grandpa successfully obtain the tiger bone. Look, your other grandchildren didn’t show you any filial piety. One of them even made Grandpa lose a lot of money!”

These words exposed them.

At this moment, no matter how thick-skinned Sr. Li and Aunt Li were, they couldn’t stand their granddaughter’s insult.

“Actually, when I brought my parents and sister with me to get married, when Grandpa and Grandma split up the family and didn’t give anything to my parents, I already expected this day to come! Grandpa and Grandma, don’t worry. No matter what, we’re still related by blood. How can I see you two living such a miserable life in your old age?! Uncle and Second Uncle are your children. How can they abandon their parents while they enjoy life?!”

“Look at how righteous the man I married is. He said that he would definitely bring Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle back. Don’t worry! Go back and wait. Your sons will come back at noon!” Li Xiaoran said happily with an a.s.suring expression.

“Yes, don’t worry. We’ll find them by noon today!” Luo Cheng added.

This time, it was Sr. Li and Aunt Li’s turn to be dumbfounded!

After a long moment, Sr. Li sighed out and finally nodded.
